Hello...
It looks like Postie will solve a need I have. If, that is, I can actually get it to work.
I use Yahoo! Web Hosting for my site at http://www.melodeeaaron.com as well as for my E-Mail service. They use, as you probably know, SSL for both the IMAP and POP3 access.
Using WP 3.3.1 and Postie 1.4.3, installation of Postie goes fine, but when I activate Postie, I get an error message reading: "Warning: the IMAP php extension is not installed. Postie may not function correctly without this extension (especially for non-English messages). Please see the FAQ for more information." The FAQ tells me I need the php-imap extension installed.
Whatever that is.
On the Postie mailserver set up page, I can't select IMAP, IMAP-SSL, or POP3-SSL.
A brief conversation with Yahoo! Web Hosting support tells me that they have "...all php extensions installed..." and that I need to contact the script author to make sure the calls are correct.
Now...
I am NOT a coder or developer. I have no clue what any of this really means. OK, I did do some C/C++ and VB work YEARS ago, but I am an author, not an application developer. I would appreciate answers in language I can understand!
Frankly, I suspect a problem with Yahoo!, but I don't even know enough to ask them the right questions.
Anyone know how to get this working?
Thanks!
Keep Loving!
Melodee Aaron
